Noob question

I'm new to Samsung and was wondering how to tell if your bootloader is unlocked? Also what do you hold down to get into it? On my HTC rezound all you did was hold power and volume down.
Thanks in advance!

Galaxy SIII's bootloader is locked until you unlock it. And I don't know what you mean "get into it" The way I understand is that the bootloader is just a script that runs when you turn your phone on.

Yeah I ran the script and just wanted to verify it was successful.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about bootloader mode. But I honestly don't know if our phone has that or not. Anyway. You should download an app from the play store called EZ Unlock. It takes like a nanosecond to unlock your bootloader (literally). Once you do that you should be able to flash non kexec kernels. Like Scotts CleanKernel.

[Q] Is there any way to unlock the bootloader without wiping?

I want to install root in my new phone, but I've already installed a lot of apps and configured it.
Is there any way to unlock it without losing these things?

No. Make a Backup.

There's any way to do it on stock android or should I use an app?

It's possible without touching the bootloader but what is the point if you are stock 4.1.2 or rather stock 4.3?? of course stock 4.3 is better. But again what is the point when your bootloader is locked?? meaning no custom rom/recovery/kernel...

Lol my bad. Wasn't thinking bout the bootloader
